An anniversary

Today is my 1^st wedding anniversary. This photo is one of my favourites from the day. I can’t believe how quickly that time went by and how much we had thrown upon us in just 12 short months. As I think back on the year, the one constant factor through it all was my husband. Put simply, there is no way I would have survived it without him.

An Easter message

Happy Easter all! I hope you are enjoying the holiday with family and friends. I’m not a terribly religious person, but as I think of the meaning of Easter, and how Jesus was resurrected from the dead, I think Jesus and I had a lot in common. In no way do I mean to be disrespectful to the Christian faith, but I’m moved by the fact this weekend is all about rising again.

Embracing the healing process

I write this blog to make sense of this whole journey. Some people read it just to follow my story. Some read it because it provides them comfort and helps in dealing with their own journey. Some read it to help them prepare for starting their journey. And some read it just because they think it’s a good story! Whatever the reason, I just hope that you realise that no matter where you are on your journey, you know that you’re not alone.

The harsh reality of miscarriage

Last night, I watched an episode of the tv show Private Practice. In it, a woman who had just suffered her 4^th miscarriage was placed next to a woman who had just given birth. The woman walked in, saw the baby, and burst into tears. In an instant, I was taken back to the moment I was in the hospital being told my operation was being pushed back because of an emergency caesarean. I too, burst into tears.

Freedom from suffering

I went to see my chiropractor this morning and took particular notice of their daily quote. Some people say it’s coincidence that these things happen, but I believe the universe sends you signs all the time, just when you need it. This morning, I definitely needed it.

The power of choice

I woke up yesterday and decided to take a pregnancy test. It was negative. I wasn’t surprised, but I was disappointed. It means we won’t be having a baby this year. I really wanted a baby this year but I guess it just goes to show that just because you want something at a particular time, doesn’t mean you get it!

Merging my ying and yang

A few days ago, I posted about my internal battling twins. I thought they were trying to beat each other up right in their bid to prove themselves right. However, at the counsellors today, I realised they were both trying to achieve the same outcome – just in different ways.
